Boxing day....

........... The traditional day in England (as in the Victorians) to give gifts (gift boxes). Here are two quilted pictures that H made for her two Grandmas....

All foundation pieced and quilted in the ditch around the teapots and cups.

With the mock piped binding - which H loved as she hates hand sewing bindings!

This is a block that I made for the Calder Quilters block swap - but I arrived too late and couldn't enter it... but hey I get to use it in a quilt for me now! I found the pattern on the internet - there are other patterns, but I like this one. Here's the link to the free pattern....

About Me

I've been sewing or making things since as long as I can remember. My Grandma and my Mum taught me to do most of the things I know - the rest I taught myself. I've lied a bit about some of my interests - guess which ones.
